Chapter Forty-Eight: The Chicken Snake
The chicken snake appears in abundance in paintings, coats of arms, carvings, and architecture (as ornaments in churches) of the medieval period, and it has the head, body, and legs of a rooster, and the tail of a snake, and its body is like that of a bird, but it is not covered with feathers, but with the scales of a snake. It is said that snakes hatched from male eggs have the ability to petrify or kill people even if they stare at people.
The chicken snake is a mixture of a snake and a chicken, and is said to have been born from a rooster laying eggs, and a snake or toad is responsible for incubating the eggs. This legendary creature often appears in medieval paintings, coats of arms, carvings and churches.
The Chicken Snake is essentially very similar to Basilisk, and has the same evil eyes as the Gorgon, which can use its terrifying gaze to kill people or animals. The weakness of the chicken snake is the cry of the weasel and the chicken, or the figure of the chicken in the mirror, "Yes, yes, yes, it is the chicken snake, I have seen it in the iron cage, the people in the cave feed the snake king, the snake king is the chicken snake, the head, the size of a truck tire, I have never seen such a big chicken head, at first I thought they were dragons." Dog Er said.
"Then why didn't you die under the gaze of the chicken snake?" I say.
Meng Chi touched the stone statue and said: "Although the chicken snake is a mythical poisonous snake, they must have a purpose if they want the other party to die, and if there is no purpose, they will not casually put people to death." ”
It's strange, why did these chicken snakes chase them to the entrance of the cave and stop chasing them, could it be that the snake king summoned them back to the ground? Or maybe the human-faced snake body scared them.
It is very possible that the myths may have been made up by human beings, and some of them may indeed be true, but in the face of the high intelligence of human beings, there is always a way to crack, suppress, and seal these mythical animals. For example, this stone sculpture may have been built by ancient people to seal this snake king.
After staying at the stone statue for a few minutes, our strength was almost recovered, and this time we almost jumped out of our hearts, and finally rescued the second dog.
The three of them walked towards the reception hall of Tu Muan, and it was relatively safe to get out of the Panlong Cave, and it was relatively safe to go the same way. After the three of us had gone some way, I had just said that I should have a hangover, when suddenly I heard the strange sizzling sound and a poisonous coldness.
Meng Chi made a stop gesture, we stood still and did not dare to move, Meng Chi looked at the stone wall, those strange sounds seemed to come from the murals on the stone wall.
I took a picture with my phone, and it didn't matter, it almost killed someone. It turned out that there were several small holes with round mouths in the stone wall, and several chicken snakes actually crawled out of the small holes in the stone wall.
Dog Er hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Charles, let's go quickly." ”
But Meng Chi had just taken a few steps forward, a few meters away from us, and if the two of us disappeared back to Thirty Mile Town, Meng Chi might have died here.
The snake had crawled out and clinged to the stone wall.
What to do? What to do? The chicken snake has shown its attacking state, and we may be attacked by the chicken snake within a minute.
"The things they fear are the cries of weasels and chickens." Dog Er shouted.
But now where TMD is going to get the weasel and the chicken, the chicken snake has begun to fall to the ground, slowly approaching us, and there are two chicken snakes in a fluttering shape......
In the midst of this fatal urgency, a rooster crows suddenly from the cave, followed by another ......
It turned out that the alarm clock of Dog Er's mobile phone rang, and his alarm clock ringtone was set to the rooster crow! When the chickens heard the chickens crow, they fled the scene as quickly as rats see cats.
Finally picked up another life, if you want me to say, how to die, people say that death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, but death under the chicken and snake, it is disgusting to think about.
Meng Chi was stunned by our mobile phones, which can glow and learn to crow chickens, and at this point, he thought that we were fairy-like characters, and there was an artifact in his hand to subdue chickens and snakes.
Tuan is still drunk, and he won't wake up for a while. Gou Er looked at a table of dragon and snake feasts, and almost threw up, I said, "Doesn't your father love snake meat?" Take that python back and honor your father. ”
Dog Erzhi shook his head, "These snakes in my schoolbag are enough, this kind of big python, who dares to eat it!" ”
Meng Chi said, "Without further ado, you guys hurry up and leave the Panlong Cave." ”
"And what do you do?" Dog Er asked.
"He will not suspect me if I stay, but if I go, I will become an enemy. I'm still sleeping here, pretending I don't know anything, and he can't help me. ”
"It's okay, but we still have to go to the jungle, and since we can meet the thirteenth generation disciple of the Medicine King in Nanzhong, I still have to talk to Brother Mengchi."
"Then you wait for me in the southeast corner of the jungle, and when Tumu wakes up, I'll go there to find you."
"Okay." I'm still worried that Meng Chi will have an accident, deliberately left him a signal gun, once there is an accident, let a signal flare be fired, I and the dog Erhao to save him, he can't die yet, this time to Nanzhong, is to find the clues of the medicine king and the twelve needles in Nanzhong, otherwise the cause of the old lady's death will become a mystery for the ages.
I and Dog Er left Panlong Cave, started the off-road vehicle to the designated place to wait for Meng Chi, at this time it was already the middle of the night, after the middle of the night tossing the body was as tired as a piece of heavy iron, we nested in the off-road vehicle, locked the car door, held the weapon in my arms, just waiting for the arrival of Meng Chi.
"Where did you find such a guy? How can I smell the smell of Chinese medicine on him? "The dog is nested in the saddle with a blanket on his body.
"It's the one who asked for help in the belly of the centipede tree, it turns out that he is the thirteenth generation disciple of the Medicine King."
"The Medicine King has long been killed by Qin Shi Huang, where is the disciple who has been passed down from generation to generation?"
"It may be the entourage of the medicine king who fled back to Nanzhong, he himself is a disciple of the medicine king, and then secretly established the Miao Jiang Twelve Needles faction in Nanzhong, and has been hiding in this jungle, not showing the mountains and water, otherwise there are few records of these people in history, it stands to reason that there are records of famous medical scientists in history, but the medicine king is not, and he is hiding in the jungle, they may also have some conspiracy, and after we return to Thirty Mile Town, we will go to southern Xinjiang to see."
"I see, I'm glad I have this person today, otherwise you wouldn't have found me."
"Yes, he is your savior, and you will have to thank him when you see him in a moment." I teased, "I've heard that the Dragon Cave is going to marry you to the Snake King. ”
"Don't mention it, if there is such a thing, maybe I will be swallowed by the snake king."
"Hey, don't say it, just in case it's a snake beauty."
"Snake beauty, don't you see how terrifying the chicken snake is? Why is there such an ugly thing in this world? ”
I didn't answer Dog Er's words, there are too many ugly things in the world, we can only see a few, those extinct ancient creatures, just looking at the pictures is enough to be terrifying.
In the middle of the night when Dog Er and I were asleep, a few animals that had only come out to forage at night came out of the jungle, came to the buggy, smelled the gasoline and left, and a python climbed on the roof of the car, and I was already awakened by the sound of these animals, and Dog Er was still asleep like a pig. The python was entrenched on the roof of the car for a while, and it seemed to smell the smell of people, so it refused to leave for a long time, and then the python wrapped around the off-road vehicle and tightened it, as if it was going to strangle the car to death. Fortunately, off-road vehicles belong to combat vehicles and have bulletproof and anti-collision functions, otherwise, ordinary cars would have been strangled by this python.
The python worked hard for a long time without any results before leaving the off-road vehicle and swimming towards the river to the southeast. After that, it was difficult for me to fall asleep again, so I held my chin and looked at the river to the southeast.
